Opinion | We Have a Bill to Help Prevent Another Jan. 6 Attack

The Select Committee to Investigate the January. 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol began its investigation last year and has conducted nine hearings to date.

Last spring, federal district court Judge David O. Carter reviewed evidence submitted by the committee and reached the conclusion that President Trump “launched a campaign to overturn a democratic election, an action unprecedented in American history.” Mr. Trump “more likely than not” violated two criminal statutes by “corruptly attempt[ing] to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” and “dishonestly conspiring” to do so.
